Episode description

How 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' was Lord Byron really?


We know the Romantic poet had a bit of a reputation, but how true was it? And how unusual would his behaviour have been?


In the first episode of our series on the worst f*ckboys in history, we're digging into Byron's relationships with Andrew Stauffer, President of the Byron Society of America, professor and chair of the Department of English at the University of Virginia, and author of 'Byron: A Life in Ten Letters'.


This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Sophie Gee. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
